Milsurps / Prohib Finally got my Kar98.
1941 Kar98. All matching except for the bolt (unique story, I know). The bolt looks like a G29/40 from 1940. Everything else appears to be original.
Kriegsmarine “N” on the butt plate so I’m assuming this is a beechwood with a (formerly) laminated finish.
I managed to get the gun, a case, about 40 rounds from the late 40’s/early 50’s, a box of 100 8mm bullets, 2 sets of reloading dies, and a similar year, but non-matching bayonet for 2 grand.
What’re your thoughts? Think I did okay? Either way I’m pumped as this gun completes my WWII bolt action hunt, and now my wallet can rest for a bit.

Sounds like a good deal but idk the value of these beauties. Its really cool that it came with dies and bullets, id be racing to hit the range with this classic
